Cornerstone Message Podcast

What does the God-blessed life look like? This weekend we continue the new message series exploring Jesus' most famous teaching, The Sermon on the Mount. In this famous opening segment, Jesus describes what the typical citizen in God's kingdom looks like, and it shocks and surprises. It's good news for the downtrodden and outsiders, but counter-cultural to some of Jesus' followers even today. Most of us have heard the words before, but have we adopted the values they represent?

This first message in the Sermon on the Mount series provides the pivotal point of view that helps you understand the whole Sermon, and eliminate the two most common and tragic pitfalls of religious practice.

At the beginning of the year, our congregation was asked what topics they wanted to hear about. There were multiple responses related to what is currently going on in Israel, so in this message, we explore how we are to understand & respond to current events—there and elsewhere—in light of Scripture.

Hear about Jon & Mayson's first year as Cross-Cultural Interns in Portugal! Why is there a need for missionaries in Portugal? What have they been doing? How is your support helping?

Enter your next season of life with your faith bolstered and your hope high! In multiple places in the Bible, God gives people a particular practice that helps them look back with gratitude for the past and look forward to the future in hope. In this week's message we'll look at one such instance and apply the lesson to our own lives so that you can move forward with a strengthened faith, an encouraged heart, and a confident spirit.

When safety & security are uncertain, where can you turn for help? For our Christmas Eve morning celebration we're looking at the prophetic promise of "God With Us," fulfilled when Jesus showed up on that first Christmas day.

Can you do well even when things aren’t going well? In this week's concluding episode of In It Together, we'll explore a passage in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippian church that unlocks the secret of contentment in any and every circumstance.

Is it possible to experience "peace on earth and good will toward man" in today's anxiety producing world and fragmented culture? In this episode of In It Together, we'll explore a passage in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippian church that maps out the path to peace in our relationship with others, among ourselves, and perhaps most importantly, in ourselves. What does it mean to know the God of peace and how can you experience the peace of God? You'll see in "Prince of Peace."

Is the path you’re on taking you where you want to go? In this week's episode of In It Together, we'll explore a passage in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippian church that outlines two contrasting paths, living as an enemy of the cross or as a citizen of heaven. Being an enemy of the cross is probably not what you think, and living as a citizen of heaven is probably better—and more accessible—than you would guess. It's your direction, not your intention, that will determine your destination, so make sure the path you're on takes you where you want to go!

Where do you stand with God? Is your faith strong? Is your conscience clear? In this episode of In It Together, we'll explore a passage in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippian church designed to safeguard their faith against derailing dangers that would shipwreck their faith and pervert the Gospel. These same dangers face us today, but they can be derailed...it all comes down to where your confidence lies.
